Jackson Pollock Ep 6 of 9: Dribbles, Drips, and Dropping Loads of Paint
Tuesday Dec 04, 2018
Tuesday Dec 04, 2018
In this episode, Jackson finally gets to explore a part of himself that he hasn’t really figured out yet. Also, we’ll learn about the old ‘murican policy of “if you do hair, you can’t do war” and a fabulously blue discharge that was for a not-so-fabulous reason. And, Peggy puts the moves on Jackson. It goes exactly how you think it would.
As we traverse through the PUT THE @%$#%@ HAMMER DOWN!!!! tranquility of Springs, we learn about the Bonackers, Jungle Pete’s, Jackson’s new best friend (who’s alarmingly like his old best friend), and finally get to the painting technique that would eventually make Jackson famous.
So toss a couple back at George’s Tavern on 7th before we take a trip to P-Town...but don’t lose your head over it...

Jackson Pollock Ep 5 of 9: European, Schmuropean
Thursday Nov 22, 2018
Thursday Nov 22, 2018
In this art-heavy episode, we'll work through cubism, surrealism, being too old for stuff, and the inner workings of Jackson’s penis. Lee and Jackson figure out how to do the dating thing, while the French do Frenchie things in New York. Jackson’s art takes a giant leap, but people aren’t exactly sure what to make of it.
So grab your paintbrushes, allow automatism to take over, get that money, and let Howard Putzel give your career a jump-start! We learn something new about Jackson in this episode and do a bit of dive on Peggy Guggenheim and her...interesting?...taste in men.
Ugh, and more wild west nonsense. But, this time, it’s for a pretty cool result...

Jackson Pollock Ep 4 of 9: Somewhere Out There

Get your paintbrushes ready! Jackson learns a new form of therapy that’s not based at all in science or medicine, we learn that Kandinsky made some stuff up, and the United States military learns that Jackson is ill-equipped for more or less anything. Learning is fun!
In this episode, we blow on our borscht because it’s a bit too hot, meet a new main character whose brother is...well...not very brotherly, and Jackson gets a new mentor. So scream at your kids about ghosts, while a Russian newspaper teaches us that two completely unrelated events can indeed be connected if you just close your eyes tightly and want it badly enough.
And don’t forget, there are no cats in America and the streets are paved with cheese!

Sunday Oct 21, 2018
Sunday Oct 21, 2018
LeRoy and Stella make a big move, LeRoy has some tough employment decisions to make, and Jackson finds a new form of inspiration!
Let's explore exactly what kind of man should be in the arts, rustic little gnocchi, how to make strong pruno in high school, P.E. teachers, the movie Parenthood, and of course, Gyp.
Oh, and there’s more stuff about horses. I know, I know...

Jackson Pollock Ep 1 of 9: Meet the Parents
Sunday Oct 14, 2018
Sunday Oct 14, 2018
The art history journey continues and our journey with Jackson Pollock begins! This series is going to be a complete rollercoaster.
It begins with annoying naming conventions, separating your children into teams so they'll hate each other, tuberculosis, and withholding pie (aka love) to let people know you're mad.
This story forces me to rant about Daniel Day Lewis, above-ground pools, and the not-so-cool ways America settled the West. I also discovered that I may have an unhealthy fear of horses.
There's precious little art or art history in this episode. It's mostly death, mostly from tuberculosis.
Saddle up!

Picasso: Origin Story Ep 4 - Domestic Disturbance (And Fin. For Now...)
Saturday Oct 06, 2018
Saturday Oct 06, 2018
This story goes exactly where you think it would - a guy named Mr. Frip, clowns, aggressive literature, and the movie New Jack City. We also meet the original gangster, Gertrude Stein, who joins the tertulia and handles some business. I try to figure out how art is sold and the status of Western art at the turn of the century, which includes a donkey named Lolo and an unnamed monkey.
There’s a number of ways Picasso could have been terrible to women. But life is short, why choose just one? We also explore the colonization and cultural appropriation of French Polynesia! How else would an artist find inspiration? Duh. Escape your art studio/makeshift prison and come join the story!

Monday Sep 10, 2018
Monday Sep 10, 2018
Casagemas ruins a dinner party and everybody deals with the fallout. We travel around a bit, then settle
in Le Bateau-Lavoir, which comes fully-equipped with a Fabian. It sounds like a great building, unless
you’re German or a little girl.
Get to know Picasso’s first great love, Fernande Olivier. You sit tight Fernande, the doors lock from the
outside and Picasso forgot to make spares. Let’s explore the Blue Period and then escape with a little help
from the poppy! And don’t worry, when times get tough, Manolo’s got it covered.
Don’t forget to follow us at @artholespodcast!

Monday Sep 03, 2018
The guys explore killing two birds with one lightening strike, having a monstruo in your pantalones, and
devastating news for Tio Salvador’s plan. Join us at Els Quatre Gats and talk about art-gang turf battles,
intra-Spanish racism, and of course, more about gypsy prostitutes.
We also meet Carlos Casagemas, who makes it weird almost immediately. Put on your Steve Harvey-
style suits and get ready! Manoloooooo!!!!

Picasso: Origin Story Ep 1 - Meet the Parents
Monday Aug 27, 2018
Monday Aug 27, 2018
In the inaugural episode of the Picasso: Origin Story, we meet Picasso's parents. We also analyze what’s in a name (it's oddly important to this story), being useless at 38, a banana-centric business model, pigeon art (the classy kind), and the weird birth of a future legend.
We do talk about art history. But, if we're being completely honest, we talk more about prostitutes than art.
Also, Mike takes a swipe at St. Louis, Detroit, and the entire state of Alabama for some reason, while Mitch has a clear preference for the majestic bull over cats. Olé!
